Guide completion of development work by presenting clear options and handling chosen workflow. Core principle: Verify tests → Present options → Execute choice → Clean up. Announce at start: "I'm using the finishing-a-development-branch skill to complete this work." Before presenting options, verify tests pass: If tests fail: Stop. Don't proceed to Step 2. If tests pass: Continue to Step 2. Or ask: "This branch split from main - is that correct?" Present exactly these 4 options: Don't add explanation - keep options concise. Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5) Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5) Report: "Keeping branch . Worktree preserved at ." Don't cleanup worktree. Confirm first: Wait for exact confirmation. If confirmed: Then: Cleanup worktree (Step 5) For Options 1, 2, 4: Check if in worktree: If yes: For Option 3: Keep worktree. | Option | Merge | Push | Keep Worktree | Cleanup Branch | |--------|-------|------|---------------|----------------| | 1.
